“Got It Like I Like It” finds Qwiet Type in a bit of a different sonic realm than the other singles reviewed on this site. Rather than the somewhat whimsical yet ambitious pop of “Shakedown” and “My Friends Are Coming Over,” this song makes you think not of Harry Nilsson so much as the moment in an 80s action movie or cop show, think Miami Vice or another Michael Mann vehicle like Band of the Hand or Manhunter, where one of the protagonists is reflecting on all the struggles to finally reach the point in the plot at the end of the story where the greatest challenges are overcome and they can take the time out to enjoy the kind of victory and triumph that really only fully makes sense in your own head because that’s where a lot of our struggles take place even if they seem tough even from the outside. Though the song has an uplifting vibe and somewhat celebratory it also obviously comes from a place of genuine feeling but needing to downplay how hard it’s been in order to enjoy the moment. Listen to “Got It Like I Like It” on Soundcloud.
